Safe in Canada - Able to post to blog site again

I landed in the Vancouver aiport in the afternoon of March 18, very glad to see Canadian soil again. By evening I was at a friend's place in Calgary, where I will decompress for a few days before I head home to Regina.

Just before I left Beijing, I had been totally cut off from my regular e-mailing, and I wasn't able to post to my blog at all. I sometimes wondered how I would react if there was a sudden knock on my hotel door and I was escorted to the airpot at gun point...not a pleasant feeling, and thankfully, not one I had to endure.

Now that I'm able to communicate again, I will bring my blog site up to date over the next few days, so you can expect to see more about my adventure while in Lhasa and beyond. More to some soon.....
